THE PINBKIES INFAMY.
GOV. Rusl> Making Vigorous Effort to
Close Them.

CHICAGO, Nov. 23.-The indignation
aroused against the Wisconsin dives is not
to be allowed to cool without some effort
to punish the perpetrators of the terrible
crimes of the pineries. When Mrs Cas-
sidy, the procuress, was indicted for alb
ducting little girls to the Marinette dens
she got professional bailer named Marks
to furnish bonds to the extent of $1,000
The revelations about the full horrors of
the white slavery system made
such an uproar that Mrs Cassidy
fled. Her case was called November
S, but she did not appear. The neces
sary length of time has now elapsed, and
yesterday Justice White gave orders for
Marks to be arrested and sued for the wo-
man's bail. The justice declared EN-
phatically that a man who had helped so
Infamous woman to escape justice need
look for no mercy. Two other women
against whom evidence was secured have
fled from Chicago, and their business is
practically broken up. Gov. Rusk has
already secured through his special agent
enough evidence 10 warrant the closing
of all the houses about Hurley, and he
will older the local authorities to under
take the work at once.

The attendance upon the union services
at the Methodist church in Nergennes
Thursday morning was large and the Bap-
tist and Congregational choirs were pres
ent. Rev. Mr.. Sherman of the Baptist
church assisted Rev. Mr. Smith. The
sermon was based upon Nehemiah
vii-lO. He reviewed the history of the
Jews and applied the example to our own
nation. The danger from immigration
was not the crowning one of our time. IL
was the pressure of intidelity and irrelig-
ion, and the lack of real Puritanical
religion. He had faith to believe that
vitalizing religion would effect national
reforma ion. Let the Chinaman run his
joss houses, we can change them into
churches. Let the anarchists come, we
can convert or hang them. Let religion,
pure, practical and aggressive, permeate
all ranks of society. After the colonies
had achieved their independence, King
George proposed day of thanksgiving,
which led his minister to inquire whether
it was for the great loss England had sus-
tanned or the thousands of soldiers killed
NO, because it is no worse" replied the
witty king. The services closed with

and the benedlction was pronounced by

ELECTRIFYING SPIES.


CHICAGO, Nov. 2l.-In conversation with
a reporter yesterday, Nina Van Zandt ex-
pressed much bitterness against the press
and those who murdered" her husband,
Mrs. Van Zandt appeared greatly con-
cerned about her daughters health and
fears the worst, She said Had you
heard that an effort was made to revive
August after his body reached the under
taker'sy Well, it is true. The physicians
used an electric battery, applying it to his
body for an hour or more in hopes of fan
ming into flame the spark of life which
seemed to be living in his veins. August
never appeared to be dead. His lips were
moist and his cheeks were warm after his
body was received from the Jail, but no
encouraging effects were produced; and
though at one time there was a spark of
hope, the physicians soon gave it up and
permitted the embalmers to go to work.
That was great mistake The embalm-
ers began work at . O'Clock and he died
It II O'Clock. They should have waited
reveral hours or more and perhaps a day
or two more.

SwANToN, Nov 23.-The mystery in re-
laton to the disappearance of Jack Zero
was explained to-day, the body being

the home of Mrs. Butcher, an aunt. The
unfortunate mans eyes had been eaten

and one in the head. Drs. Wilder and

for evidence of foul play and the result of
their work will be made public at the in
vestigation which is to be held this even
ing.

Denis D)lan, and the brother Joe Jero,
were arrested by Deputy Sheriff Marvin

was one of the party, was arrested in St
Albans, According to the story of DJlan,
Jack Jero was lett lying on the track
about midnight week ago last Saturday,
too drunk TO walk. Sunday noon, George
Greenier, Il l5year-old boy, who was re
turning from Hog island through the
marshes over the old unused LamOille
Valley eXiens on road, saw young Jero
laying bareheaded on the track. He said

worth not only consisted in her own won

powers to transmit her good qualities TO

SERVICES AT ST. PAUL's.

Interesting Thanksgiving services We're
held at st. Paul's church yesterday morn
ing, which were participated in by Rt.
Rev. Bishop Bissell, Rev. DR.. j. l. Bliss,
Rev Mr., Pitman and Rev Y, A. Hopkins.
The sermon was preached by Rev. Mr..
Hopkins, who took his text from Isaiah
xiv. :. Among other things he said moral
evil is the sign of Satan and his kingdom,
but there are other evils, such as sickness,
confagratiou, which affect us. These
teach us that this earth is not our home.
Whom God loveth lie chasteneth. The
speaker then gave cursory review OF the
past % years, beginning with the civil
war and its train of evils, the debts of
which we are still paying. In spite of all
this the war was blessing as 1t wiped
out system which, ii unmolested
would have involved this country
in centuries of strife and wars.
Looking AT the effect of the war on Eng
land an Indirect result was the develop
ment ef the cotton industry in India,
which was stimulated by the construc-
tion at the expense of the home govern
ment of an extensive railroad system.
/ This gave England "A chance to elevate the
condition of the people Of India. IL Is
true that no nation liveth unto itself, An
| other result of the example set by the

the freedom of SO,0OO000 serts in Russia.
